SocraticMethod:
The Socratic Method was a system used in an arguement or a debate. This system concsisted of two people. If one brought up an arguement, the other would ask the person questions until the person reversed there minds and outproved themselves. For example, Meno once asked Socrates if virtue can be taught. Socrates then asked him if he knew what virtue was. Socrates reversed the question so that Meno understood what he just asked.

Justice:
Socrates didn't believe that Athens should be a democracy. He thought that electing officials was unfair. He would teach this idea to many people. This helped lead him to the cause of his death.

Disbelief in Gods:
Socrates believed that the Gods did nothing for the people. He even started to believe that the Gods didn't exist and that they will never exist. This idea helped lead him to the cause of his death.
